velocity

10.

Movement never stops.

true

false

11.

Velocity is how fast something is moving, but speed refers to how fast an object is moving in a particular direction.

true

false

12.

Acceleration has a direction.

true

false

13.

What is the formula for average speed?

Average Speed = Total Time $\div$ Total Distance

Average Speed = Total Time + Total Distance

Average Speed = Total Distance $\div$ Total Time

Average Speed = Total Distance $\times$ Total Time

27 m/sec

17.

What is the difference between instantaneous speed and average speed?

Average speed happens in a particular instant, Instantaneous speed is the speed of an object over a longer period of time.

Instantaneous speed is never right, average speed is always right
